    Default Looking for someone to make tubes


    I'm looking for anyone who can make me a 3" tube with a 1/4" OD (or even slightly smaller). Smallest ones I've been able to find are 3/8".

    Here is the color I'm looking for:

    Here is the diameter:

    Here are some I tried to make but the plastic was not deep enough in the can, and I guess it got a bit too hot. I used an 1/8" rod. Ones on left were single dip and right are double. I'm guessing if I had enough time I could get the right set up, but don't really want to get into another hobby as most of the baits I use are available, I just can't find this animal anywhere.

    Thanks? I didn't use Gitzit in my search. I have emailed the company as they look close. I also checked the other lead you sent me but he advised he could not help me out.
    I had seen the drycreek one's but they don't have the color, their watermelon was the closest.

    I sent a copy of this request to Snake River in DIY Plastics. He will be able to do this for you. Follow up soon by shooting him a PM yourself. I know he is in China and may have missed the post but he should be back very soon.

    It is bait #63.

    The color chart is on this page.

    Thanks - I had heard he was away. Will contact him when I see him on the board. The people at Canyon Plastics are sending me some samples of their "finesse" gitzits and I think they may just work.

    Mid-South makes a 3" tube they call their 1/8th ounce tube. You have to call them to order them they are not in their catalog
    There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home.

    Thanks - I'll give them a call.

    ALso the tubes that Canyon Plastic makes are what I am looking for. 1/4" diameter as I was told. Going to order some of those, but will also check into the midsouth to see how they compare.

    Thanks Again
